 (Fall) Toolbox of Faith by Kate Erslev Covey

Toolbox of Faith invites participants to reflect on qualities of our Unitarian Universalist faith such as integrity, courage and love as tools they can use in living their own lives and building their own UU faith.  Each of the sessions uses an actual tool as a metaphor for a quality of our religion. These tools include, for example, a hammer (for justice), duct tape (for flexibility), and a mirror (for reflection).

(Spring)  Windows and Mirrors by G. Farrell, N. Fenimore and J. View

Through a lens of UU faith and justice, children look closely at themselves and the communities to which they belong, especially their congregation.  How do they experience true affiliation with others who may, at first, seem very unlike themselves?  What actions do their observations demand, as they move out from “me” to “we?”
